We loved our stay there, it was very nice to have the fire pit and wood and candies for us! Steps were hard on us but we are older gals! Good proximity to antique shops, wineries, cideries and interesting little eateries! All in all a great stay! Love the downstairs space!!!

Our stay was wonderful. The rental is spotless, beds are comfy location is private. Love the back porch. We booked for a family wedding so didn't have time to use the grill or fire pit. .Also of note, is the basement door is level to the ground so if anyone has problems with steps there is bedroom, living room and bathroom with a shower seat on the basement level.I absolutely loved this place!!!!.

The house was very clean and all the towels and linens smelled fresh. The whole place was well stocked and equipped. It was so refreshing to step outside on the front porch in the morning with a hot cup of coffee and listen to the river running. Beautiful and quiet. Just what we needed

Peaceful retreat

Such a wonderful place to stay. Everything is clean and welcoming, all you have to do is enjoy your time there. We were attending graduation at UVA and it was a short and easy commute to Charlottesville.

I came into town for the Tyler Childers concert and this was the perfect spot for me and my dog! Quiet, secluded, beautiful scenery — but close enough to town if you need anything. An easy drive to C’ville and surrounding areas. It didn’t disappoint!

This house was so cozy, clean and in a beautiful location. The outside amenities (porch, fire pit) were a big hit during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, as well as the bathrooms. Communication with the host was quick and thorough. We all decided this would be a great place to come back to!
